Kohima
- The Capital : Perched at 1444.12 metres above sea level,
Kohima enjoys a temperate climate throughout the year. The
two hour drive from Dimapur to Kohima can be an enjoyable
experience. You could treat yourself to a hot hearty meal
of local cuisine from one of the typical Naga wayside amenities
that line the road at regular intervals. The panoramic view
of Kohima unfolds at 16 kms from your destination, nestled
among the pristine hills.
Kohima War Cemetery
offers a space for a quiet moment of a contemplative stroll
with friends & family. This is a symbolic memorial raised
as a citation for the supreme sacrifices made by the officers
and men of the allied forces, to halt the tide of the Japanese
onslaught during the Second World War. This was their last
post. The cemetery is beautifully and meticulously maintained
by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission.
Dzukou valley
is tucked away at 2438 metres above sea level. From June
to September, the entire valley is covered with a carpet
of wild flowers. Here, you are completely at peace with
nature. The valley is surrounded by hills, natural caves
& rocks ideal for camping.
Japfu peak
- Scaling the Japfu peak at
3048 metres above sea level can be very trying, but exhilarating.
Once up, the expansive vista of nature's beauty more than
compensates the effort put in. The range gets covered by
mist at the break of dawn, adding to its mystic beauty.
Dimapur - On the way to Kohima,
this site was the first headquarter, established by the
British. The Triple Falls located in Seithekima village
area, is another resort being developed by the Department
of Tourism. As the name suggests, it is a three-tier waterfall,
cascading from a height of 280 feet into an inviting natural
pool.
Khonoma - This place offers
a peep into the village lifestyle of the people here. This
village is not only laced in history but also known for
its ecological propriety. The terraced fields carved out
from the hill top to the lower valley, present an interesting
study. You can always hear fascinating stories of folklore
here from the villagers.
